The Fisherman's Wharf Panjim — Restaurant in Goa Island

The restaurant was amazing! Especially Sunny, our atendee, was very polite and hospitable to every one of us! Thank you for having us. (Edit below after I got away from the place) Two thing I did NOT like about this place was:

The waiters. Don’t get me wrong, they are the best humans to ever work there. But please don’t force the waiters to force us to give them good ratings by standing on top of our phones and watching everything we type or write. Just tell us to review and leave. Don’t stand there until you see us giving you 5 stars and typing the feedback. It feels so awkward and weird watching you guys watch us as we review the restaurant. I believe every review should be raw and authentic and not be affected by a waiter standing behind you staring at your phone as you rate the restaurant until we press the submit button. It feels so forced and doesn’t sound authentic to the future customers who’d be willing to come there. You guys don’t have to worry about anything with respect to reviews here because your restaurant is good as is. Forcing customers to review your restaurant makes them not do it and brings a weird vibe post meal.

The singer singing off key and being loud. I don’t know who the singer is usually but today (Saturday, 26 July, 2025) there was a middle aged guy in the open part of the restaurant who was singing very off key and loudly for some reason. I have been to and attended almost every function and restaurant that there is in Goa and I have had my share of loud yet amazing singers that I was never bothered by our conversation being interrupted before. On the contrary, I would stop everything I would do and just appreciate the talent. But never felt “disturbed” by a singer as much as I did here. My other friends also had the similar issue. We couldn’t vibe well with the singer whatsoever, and it felt like he was just being a background noise instead of setting the mood right.

Having said that, as I said, I believe every review should be authentic. And as a person who likes to read reviews on everything and wants to know the truth about certain products or services, I would also say that their food is top-tier. My non Goan friends loved their food and thanked me for bringing them here...

Fisherman Wharf Restaurant Review

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fisherman Wharf, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. Nestled along the waterfront, the restaurant offers stunning views that perfectly complement its maritime theme.

Ambiance: The atmosphere is both cozy and elegant, with nautical decor that makes you feel like you’re aboard a luxurious ship. The large windows provide a panoramic view of the bay, making it an ideal spot for a romantic dinner or a relaxed family outing.

Service: The staff at Fisherman Wharf are attentive and friendly. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and prompt service. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations.

Food: The highlight of Fisherman Wharf is undoubtedly the food. The seafood is incredibly fresh and expertly prepared. We started with the clam chowder, which was rich and flavorful. For the main course, I had the grilled salmon, which was cooked to perfection and served with a delicious lemon butter sauce. My dining companion had the lobster roll, which was generously filled and very satisfying. The portion sizes were just right, leaving us room to enjoy dessert – a delightful key lime pie that was the perfect end to our meal.

Value: While Fisherman Wharf is on the pricier side, the quality of the food and the overall dining experience justify the cost. It’s a great place for a special occasion or when you want to treat yourself to a top-notch meal.

Overall: I highly recommend Fisherman Wharf for anyone looking to enjoy a superb seafood meal in a beautiful setting. The combination of excellent service, delicious food, and stunning views make it a standout restaurant that’s...

In one simple sentence - "Perfect blend and fusion of colors, tastes, flavours, art and music. Food is a dedication and a form of art."

Had visited this place with my friend Panjo. We were exploring good food in Goa.

Pros :-

1. Amazing mocktails and cocktails

2. Softest Paneer - i thought only non veg will be good. Had ordered paneer starter and it was just yummy and awesome. The Softest and yummiest paneer i have had in a long time. The chutney with it was also v v good.

3. Very spacious - the tables are spaced out very well. Does not feel claustrophobic. In these corona times it's helpful.

4. Amazing ambience - Just check out some of the pics that i have uploaded. Absolutely fantastic. As Shilpa Shetty says in Dance India Dance - soooper sey bhi oopar. Every 2 steps is a revelation. There is smth nice hung on the wall, tucked away in the corner, hanging from the ceiling etc. Very precious and lot of care and time has been taken to curate the interiors.

5. Live band - Our host Mr. Roy had told us that there is a live band here and we should visit. The live band was the main one on our mind when we wanted to come here.

6. Place to unwind - extremely nice place to chill ang unwind. No pressure from anyone to rush into things.

7. Extremely courteous staff - to give an example the food was late by 5-10 mins. One guy had come and apologized twice to us for the delay. We were okay with the delay as we had lot of time

8. Good vegetarian options - Saying again... Amazing paneer

Cons :-

1. Live music - It was being played by father- son duo. When playing hindi songs the Hindi words were pronounced incorrectly and felt like some foreigner was singing it especially "Yeh shaam...
